Okay next question, the eridian artifacts which you can use on your character.

The max is level 3 right? Cause I got three more explosive artifacts and I'm wondering if I should sell them. Perhaps with the level cap(being raised) other things will get raised?

How can I use them? Cause I got the explosive up to level 3 and when I try to use more explosive artifacts it won't let me raise it. It says I can't use them. :/

Do I have to raise my actual level?

I think the artifacts have their own level just like any other equipment don't they? If so, you'd need to match that level to use it just as you do to equip a weapon.

What original key? To use to activate the game on steam?
Click to expand...

Nope, normal Retail Key without a Box from get2play (Won´t work with steam for all I know)... But if I can´t use it with any DD system I might as well wait and purchase the steam or boxed version later.

As long as there are new quests to do, I think I could keep playing this game forever. So new DLC is very welcome. I might actually finish my first playthrough by then, let alone my second playthrough.

I don't think so. There is a level requirement but not a level for the artifact itself. So I'm still stuck at Explosive Artifact level 3 with three spares I can't use. :/

Not really sure how it works myself. Sometimes I get an artifact that I can use and bump up my effect level, sometimes I can't. But artifact levels do go up past 3: I have level 4 explosive, corrosive and shock for my 40 siren.

The three you have now are all lvl 3 explosive artifacts. Since you are already lvl 3 with that they can't raise it any higher. It didn't find my first lvl 4 artifact until my second playthrough. It is strange that they don'y have the lvl of the artifact in the item description.
Click to expand...

This makes sense. I didn't get level 4 effects until my second playthrough. Thanks for clearing that up.

And randomly: Gearbox should rename Siren to Invulnerable-Death-Dealing-Lady-Of-Serious-Fucking-Incendiary-Corrosive-Shocking-HailStorm-Doom-of-a-Thousand-Bullets. Its mindboggling how much my 40 tears it up with some decent weapons.

Do red chests scale with level? It seems at level 50 New Haven chest are only giving me level 43 or so items
Click to expand...
Level 43 and level 48 are the last tiers of quality for items. So that's all you are going to get.

Both level 43 and 48 are classified as quality 5 items. Which are the highest. Depending on the weapon the level is sometimes different.

Artifact levels are based on the level requirement for the artifact. So, 18,24,32,38,44,50 or whatever they are for levels 1-6

Of course there is. It's called "the torrent network".

Download an .ISO, install it, insert your key when asked.

The lead platform of this title is, without a doubt, the 360. Doesn't mean that's the best way to play it tho.

It got a delay on the initial release as well. Is it really so surprising?
Click to expand...
Don't care what Gearbox says, that week delay was purely because of piracy concerns.

Doesn't make sense for DLC. Maybe they just had to pull people off the final polish of the DLC to patch the game?

I haven't played it in a week or so, is online fixed?

I'm not even complaining, just saying it's odd. (seems confirmed on the gbx boards).

And yes, I am trolling one of my favorite games of the year. Totally.

ennui said that they would comment when they can confirm if the day would fall on the same day or not..

The rest of her posts on the thread are regarding PC Patch - She can't confirm the exact date but from what others have been posting from tweets - it sounds like this week.

Anyone else have issues with hosting? It seems like whenever I host a game on PS3 the framerate is generally slower than what you get if you join a game or play in single player mode. I was doing a three person game in the same room and the host always had performance issues while the others were fine. There was a HUGE difference at times.

In one map, every 10 seconds the framerate would drop into the teens with lots of tearing. Wasn't happening on the other systems. Works fine when that same system is not the host. :\

Possibly just a random performance issue. Wouldn't worry about it if I were you, knowing how common framerate drops are in this.

What the HELL. If you don't accept a quest, a lot of them disappear afterwards. I was going through the game only accepting story related quests because I want to do the sidequests once I'm LV50, but after a quest, the one before it disappeared. Urgh.

Finally got the Platinum!

Played online the whole time. Burned out now, but good little game.
I expect much better things should there be a sequel.
